SCARBOROUGH,
October 31, 2008 – BMO Bank of Montreal today opened
the doors to a 4,000 square foot branch at 4411 Kingston Road near
Lawrence Avenue in Scarborough,
Ontario.
“BMO is a community based bank with a passion for reaching out
to our new neighbours,” said Andrea Hazell, Branch Manager, BMO
Bank of Montreal. “We are ‘making money make sense’ by
providing the clarity customers need to make sound financial decisions.
Our commitment has never been more relevant than it is now given today’s
economic realities.”
BMO’s new branch
is equipped to accommodate the needs of this diverse region.
“The GTA represents the heart of the Canadian economy, home to
the financial centre and a diverse range of Fortune 500 businesses,” said
Robert Kavcic, BMO Economic Analyst. The city’s population has
expanded at a steady 2.3 per cent annual rate over the past decade, boosting
construction activity and lifting home values by more than 5 per cent
per year. Scarborough is an important part of the Toronto economy, which
continues to see sturdy population growth thanks to its popularity as
a location for new Canadians.”
Andrea’s team
of 17 employees include:
- Customer Service
Representatives
- Financial Services Managers
- BMO Bank of Montreal Financial Planner, Investment and Retirement Planning
- Commercial Relationship Manager

Thursday & Friday 9:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The branch is equipped with two Instabank machines for your everyday

“Plus if you’re one of the millions of AIR MILES collectors
in Canada, we have another reason for you to bank with BMO,” said
Bill Crook, Personal Banking Area Manager. “No other bank can help
you collect faster and redeem more quickly because we are the only major
financial institution that rewards debit and credit card purchases, including
online purchases, with access to a comprehensive choice of more than
800 reward and travel options.”
In April, BMO Bank of Montreal enhanced its Mosaik Gold AIR MILES Reward
Option, providing cardholders an exclusive 20 per cent discount on all
AIR MILES flight redemptions worldwide.
